Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson

June 26 - July 26, 2009

Playhouse on the Square

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1996, this exuberant musical sensation is the seventh-longest running Broadway show in history. An East Village rock version of Puccini's opera La Bohème, Larson's stirring and life-affirming score captures the heart and spirit of a generation of struggling artists, addicts, and impoverished young people living in the shadow of AIDS, battling the coming wave of gentrification. A time capsule of a world where hope crawls out of dark despair, these Bohemians find the salvation of love within each other and prove there can be a better world where art thrives, and everything good is free.
